OpenAI is crushing it with professional users and is far ahead of competitors such as Anthropic And Google in the Enterprise AI market, according to new data this week.
This contrasts with some of the rumors that have occurred since Google’s inception. Gemini the chatbot started to gain ground ChatGPT a few months ago.
The new data comes from Ramp, a startup that helps businesses pay their bills. Ramp analyzes corporate card and bill payment activity on its platform from more than 50,000 U.S. businesses to track the billions of dollars spent on AI services each month.
The latest figures cover December 2025. The report shows that OpenAI has regained momentum among U.S. companies, posting its strongest growth in months as overall enterprise adoption of AI continues to accelerate.
The share of U.S. companies paying for AI products and services reached 46.6% in December, an increase of 1.6 percentage points from November. This is the largest month-over-month increase since mid-2025, according to Ramp data.
Much of this growth has been driven by OpenAI. Enterprise adoption of OpenAI products climbed two percentage points to 36.8%, reversing a short-lived slowdown in the fall and reaching a new record high. Ramp data shows gains in enterprise chat subscriptions and API spending, suggesting broader use of OpenAI among office workers and tech teams.
It’s unclear how many current paying users OpenAI has, but the company said in November 2025 that it had 1 million deals customers.

This rebound highlights OpenAI’s continued dominance in the enterprise AI market at a time when companies are moving beyond experimentation. Rather than trial usage, December’s growth reflects recurring expenses related to day-to-day business functions, including software development, research, finance, sales and customer support.
Competitors continue to gain ground, but at a slower pace. Anthropic adoption reached 16.7%, with growth concentrated among technology companies making heavy use of APIs.
Google’s adoption of AI increased to 4.3%, a figure that Ramp notes likely underestimates its usage because many companies access Gemini for free through Google Workspace plans.
These Ramp figures also exclude business use of free AI tools, in which no paid transactions take place, and where employees use personal accounts with AI companies to perform work tasks. This means the data likely underestimates actual AI adoption rates.
